What is virtual memory? We know that computer stores all the data needed for processing in the RAM. But the RAM has a limit. So when your RAM is full, the computer automatically starts writing information on the hard disk. This utilization of hard disk space in place of real memory is called virtual memory. But, by virtual memory, the computer becomes slow as it takes much longer time to retrieve data from Harddisk. So by adding more RAM you get away from the condition where your computer has to go for Virtual Memory and the speed of the computer is maintained.
